This was the event that everyone was waiting for... the Chinese New Year Parade!
A few high/low-lights:
- Beautiful colours, floats and flags
- Thick crowds - more people than I knew existed in Manado! (& viewing from perches/rooftops, etc!), and of course, their resulting GARBAGE underfoot!
- Sad little princesses getting sick atop their lotus-flower floats from the heat... (this was obviously not a factor overlooked by parade organizers - there were pukebuckets on hand!)
- Dragons...
- Huge bamboo musical instruments! (my favourite of all)
